Bernie Sanders Dodges on Ilhan Omar’s Comments About Some Jewish Students Being Pro-Genocide

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "Well, I don't know exactly — look, what I think the essential point that Ilhan made is that we do not want to see anti-Semitism in this country. And I think the word 'genocide' is something that is being determined by the International Court of Justice. But this is what I will say: I don't think there's any doubt that what Netanyahu is doing now, displacing 80 percent of the population in Gaza, is ethnic cleansing. That's what it is, pushing out huge numbers of people. And now we're looking at the possibility of an attack on Rafah, where people have gone for so-called — as a safety zone. So, what's going on there, again, to my mind, is outrageous. And, as you have indicated, I strongly oppose U.S. funding for Netanyahu's war machine."
